Formulas Required

Variance from Target: =IF(OR(Target=0, Current=0), "N/A", ((Current - Target)/Target)*100)
Status Indicator (Color-coded): Use nested IFs with conditional formatting to return "Green", "Yellow", or "Red". For example: =IF(ABS(Variance) <= 5%, "Green", IF(ABS(Variance) <= 10%, "Yellow", "Red"))
Trend Arrow: Uses a combination of IF and TEXT functions to display up/down/flat arrows based on change over last three periods. =IF(AND(C3>C2, C2>C1), "↑", IF(AND(C3<C2, C2<C1), "↓", "↔"))
Moving Average (3-Month): =AVERAGEIFS(HistoricalValues!C:C, HistoricalValues!A:A, "<="&EOMONTH(A2,0), HistoricalValues!A:A, ">="&EOMONTH(A2,-2))
Audit Log Timestamp: =NOW() placed in a dedicated column for automatic time logging.

Conditional Formatting Rules

Status Indicator: Color cells based on variance thresholds (Green: ≤5%, Yellow: 5–10%, Red: >10%).
Trend Arrows: Apply icon sets (↑↓↔) to the trend column for visual clarity.
KPI Health Bars: Use data bars in the "Current Value" column to represent progress toward target.
Data Entry Cells: Highlight cells with red borders if a value is entered more than once or outside normal ranges (using data validation).

User Instructions

Fill in the KPI Definitions & Targets sheet first—this ensures consistency across all reports.
